Gosselin dissed his estranged wife Kate Friday, one day after a loud fight between the two brought the police to their Wernersville, Pa., home.

According to Us Weekly, Kate arrived at the home during Jon's time with the eight children Thursday night and the two argued outside the house. Jon Gosselin later told Splash News Kate was trying to make a big deal out of nothing.

"You know me, I don't come home when she's with the kids, because I respect her time with the kids," he said. "She tried to come home yesterday, and I wouldn't let her in the gate. I guess she called the police ... She tried to 'cry it up' with the cops and it didn't work. They said, 'You have to leave,'" because of the couple's custody agreement.

Reports said Kate was upset with the baby-sitter Jon had hired — 23-year-old Stephanie Santoro. Jon told Splash News he called Santoro to watch the kids because he had "get things done."

Then again, perhaps one of the items on Jon's busy to-do list was: "Have sex with the baby sitter," since Santoro, waitress at one of Jon's favorite Wernersville pubs, reportedly has dated the reality TV star.

Jon said he contacted Santoro only because he knew she was close by and available ... to watch the kids.

Police confirmed they were called to the residence but said they made no arrests. Kate has not commented on the spat.

The two ex-lovebirds, who star in the reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," split earlier this year.

AEROSMITH tour to continue? dream on!: Aerosmith has canceled the rest of its summer tour following singer Steven Tyler's plunge from a stage while performing last week.

The move puts the kibosh on radio station 107.7-FM The Bone's annual Bone Bash concert slated for Aug. 19 at the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord. Refunds for the show, which featured Aerosmith and ZZ Top as co-headliners, are available at the point of purchase.

Tyler fell off a stage while performing in Sturgis, S.D., last week, breaking his shoulder and suffering a gash on the back of his head.

In a newly published interview with People magazine, Tyler, 61, said he feels fortunate that his injuries weren't a lot worse.

"I landed upside down, and after twenty stitches on the back of my head, and a broken left shoulder. I just want to say that I'm plain grateful that I didn't break my neck!"

Tyler said he was trying to improvise after an electrical problem blew out the speakers.

"I was doing the Tyler shuffle and then I zigged when I should have zagged ... . And I slipped, and as I live on the edge ... . I fell off the edge!" he said.
